    Goals / Remit

    UK Finance is a trade association representing 300 of the leading firms providing finance, banking and payments-related services in or from the UK. UK Finance has been created by combining most of the activities of the Asset Based Finance Association, the British Bankers’ Association, the Council of Mortgage Lenders, Financial Fraud Action UK, Payments UK and the UK Cards Association.

    UK Finance helps our members ensure that the UK retains its position as a global leader in financial services and to this end offers outstanding global, national, regional and rural coverage and infrastructure.

    • We seek to facilitate the conditions necessary for a strong, vibrant and competitive industry, whilst ensuring safety and stability. We will work hard with our members to restore customer trust and deliver outstanding services, and ensure we act individually and collectively in a way that is responsible, ethical, efficient and for the long term.

    • We facilitate industry–wide collaboration and offer an industry-wide perspective on areas of mutual interest, ensuring always that the voice of customers, communities, employees and broader society are understood in the formulation of these views and actions.

    • We provide data and evidence-backed representation for our members in their individual and collective interaction with policy makers and regulators in the UK, EU and at a global level.

    • We offer thought leadership to help innovate, anticipate and adapt to changing customer, technological, regulatory and societal demands and opportunities.

    Meetings

    2 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
